Lange Nacht der Museen 2023

Some impressions from the "Lange Nacht der Museen" in Munich, where many museums and galleries are open at night.

This year I visited:

Bayerisches Nationalmuseum which has a huge collection of art and artifacts from the late Antiquity to Art Nouveau and tells European cultural history in Bavaria.

Sudetendeutsches Museum which shows the amazing culture of the Germans from Bohemia, Moravia and Sileasia and their tragic fate and new hope.

Glyptothek with many beautiful Roman and Greek statues and antique art.

Lenbachhaus, specifically the "Der Blaue Reiter" exhibition with the famous works of the Bavarian painter Franz Marc, Wassily Kandinsky and more.

My favourite snaps from Glyptothek in Munich. It was heavily bombarded in 1945, but the statues survived. I had a kind of nausea walking around -- went there straight from uni (I was visiting the Rachel Carson Center) and had no cash (just my camera) and was left starving. Yes 1st world problems, but have you ever tried speaking to hungry writers? The hunger, though, made me think of the war, and time, and the ruins rebuilt into aesthetically pleasing sights - and then I watched the kids sitting around these statues and trying to draw the sculptures on blank sheets, recreating history for themselves. Through hunger I forgot about time and space and locked myself in between the little creases sculpted into stone ages ago, with precision and care, survivors of time, war, hate, propaganda and bombs. I ate stone and dust and late summer heat for lunch, and finally fell in love with my regal nose...

: • ARTEMIS Braschi: Roman, Imperial Period, Mid-1st c. AD. "The 'Artemis Braschi'... is not a reliable copy but is a new work which borrows from a number of Greek originals... The Roman sculptor cited here the styles of different periods of Greek art and thus consciously produced an antiquated impression: The decoration of the head and the upright body posture with the straight knees are reminiscent of Archaic art of the 6th c. BC. The hair style with the stiff curls falling to the chest recall works of the late Archaic - early Classical period. The head itself with its slight incline to the right is similar to depictions of the 5th c. BC. Similar motifs of light robes with many folds flowing in the wind and simultaneously pressed on the body by a gust are to be found in Classical sculptures of about 400 BC. They suggest that the goddess is floating down from on high." [©AGM] .

Bereits 1931 hatte Julien Green den „Barberinischen Faun“ in der Glyptothek in der alten Pracht des Bacchussaales besucht. Kurz nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg traf er den Faun in seinem elenden Notquartier vor abbröckelndem, blaugrünem Stuckmarmor und vor nacktem Ziegelwerk an, wie seine Fotos von 1950 dokumentieren. Die Skulptur war am 8. März 1950 als „Spätheimkehrer“ aus seiner Kriegsverlagerung im Schloss von Tegernsee nach München zurückgekehrt. Dem damals achtzig Zentner schweren Koloss wollte man jede Zwischenstation ersparen und brachte ihn deshalb gleich in den notdürftig hergerichteten Bacchussaal:

„Heute morgen bin ich in den Ruinen der Glyptothek gewesen, um den „Barberinischen Faun“ zu sehen, den einzigen Bewohner dieses riesigen zerstörten Museums. Man muss mit dem Fuß gegen die Eisentür treten, damit der Wärter kommt, aber der Faun erwacht nie aus diesem verzauberten Schlaf, der schon so viele Jahrhunderte währt. Man geht durch weite Säle unter offenem Himmel, deren Mauern die Spur der Flammen tragen. Der Faun steht in einer Ecke, unter einer Art Dach, das man ihm aus Brettern errichtet hat. Er ist vom Schlaf übermannt. Man kann kaum über diese Statue sprechen, ohne in eine Begeisterung zu verfallen, die mir fremd ist. Die Kopie von Bouchardon erschien mir immer ziemlich langweilig. Es ist die sinnlichste Statue der Welt und schönste der griechischen Statuen seit den archaischen Kuroi.“

Italy Refuses Munich Museum’s Request to Return Ancient Roman Statue Bought by Hitler

Italian Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano has said that the Discobolus Lancellotti, a sculpture bought by Adolf Hitler and returned to Italy after World War II, should not be returned to Germany as it is a national treasure, amid a diplomatic dispute over who is the rightful owner of the statue.

The statue is perhaps the best-known copy of a bronze sculpture by Athenian artist Myron made between 460–450 B.C. The original is now lost, but the copy is believed to have been made between 100-200 A.D. At least five other copies are known to have been made over time.

Sangiuliano’s comments came after the National Roman Museum director Stéphan Verger requested that a marble base for the statue, created in the 1600s, be returned from the collection of the Staatliche Antikensammlungen, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reported.

But Florian S. Knauss, the director of the Glyptothek, the section of the Staatliche Antikensammlungen that houses Greek and Roman antiquities, instead allegedly then asked Italy to return the statue, according to Corriere della Sera.

The work was found in 1781 on the Esquiline Hill, one of the seven hills of Rome, and sold to Nazi Germany in 1938 for 5 million lira (about $5.7 million when adjusted for inflation) with the support of Benito Mussolini, the Italian dictator and founder of fascism. It was given by Hitler to a museum in Munich and displayed there until November 1948, when it was returned to Italy.

“The request from the Munich Glyptothek to have the Discobolus Lancellotti back is as absurd as it is inadmissible,” Sangiuliano said in a statement on Twitter. “It was tied up and was exported illicitly as a result of an unholy pact between the Nazis and fascists. Thanks to the Americans for giving it back to us.”

Sangiuliano also suggested his German counterpart, culture minister Claudia Roth, “knows nothing about this,” and that the conflict could be resolved at a diplomatic level.

“And I am sure that the cooperation between Germany and Italy, which is already excellent in so many fields, will improve even more in the future in the cultural field as well,” Sangiuliano said. Still, Germany “must go over my dead body” to get the sculpture back, he added.

The Italian newspaper called the standoff a “risky chapter” for Italy and Germany, noting that discussing the sculpture highlights the “tragic relationship between fascism and Nazism.”

“I am not in a position to abandon our legal claim of a return of the Discobolus to our museum,” Knauss said in his response. “The sculpture was legally acquired by the German state after being offered to the Metropolitan Museum in New York. The Italian institutions in power at the time agreed to the export.”
